Is the SLPA program a stepping stone toward becoming an SLP?
The SLPA program is specifically designed for individuals who desire to enter professional practice as SLPAs. Some graduates of the SLPA program have gone on to obtain bachelor’s degrees in Speech Pathology and/or have entered graduate school. However, it is important to assert that while there is nothing to preclude an SLPA program graduate from continuing his or her studies and becoming an SLP, the goal of the program is to educate future SLPAs.
